  1. THW Security Research

  2. Basic research is what I am doing when I don’t know what I am doing. Wernher von Braun

  3. Security Research Programs National: Research programs of Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) European Commission (EU): Until 2013 the EU will provide a total of 1.4 billion Euro in the scope of its 7th Research Framework Program for the “Security”-Research. 8th Research Framework Program has been announced. Overall volume for security research: 4.2 billion Euro (Treaty of Lisbon aims to promote the European security and defense market).

  4. Governmental Objectives for Security Research Improve use of security research by security authorities. Increase in “repatriation quota” of research funds by German enterprises. Improve networking between governmental authorities and research institutes.

  5. Arguments for a THW Involvement in Security Research • Promotion of research as clearly articulated will of the Federal Government (coalition agreement) and the EU (7th & 8th Research Framework Program). • Involvement of THW as an end user to influence research results. • Support of THW through: • - Transfer of know-how to THW - Funding of facilities, equipment and exercises • Promoting the external image of a modern emergency service.

  6. Research-Related Networking • national: • GESA • Fraunhofer innovation cluster • VDI innovation platforms • Katnet (disaster networks) • FRP & CIP portal Northrhine-Westphalia (ZENIT) international: • ISCRAM subject-related: • Metropolitan security • Container safety & security • Airport security

  7. Future Security Research topics for THW 1 • protection of critical infrastructure • climate change: power supply • operating in an NBC environment • localization and rescue in mud and water • recovery technology – Sensor systems used in debris and analysis of debris

  8. Future Security Research topics for THW 2 • collapse of buildings – securing buildings, reconnaissance • control / management of relief operations • Prototyping • treatment and transport of drinking water • Psychosocial Emergency Care • Environmental protection / control of oil spills

  9. Example 1:Requirement Analysis & Applied Damage Scenarios

  10. Example 2: SOP-Based Information System THW Working Method Drafts (Work in Progress) Working Method of Israeli Home Front Command Source: THW field test, “Lanouville”, 24 October 2009 Source: „Turning Point 3“ exercise, Israel, 03 June 2009

  11. Example 3:Reconnaissance Robotics • installation space • weight • space utilization • complexity • manufacturability • … • roadworthiness • maneuverability • all-terrain capability • … Constructive Implementation Component Testing • capability • reliability • … • mobility (traction) • stability • … • Actuators • Sensors • Electronics

  12. Example 4: Radar-Based Localization of People • Radar-based on-site localization of people trapped or buried under rubble, irrespective of their physical or mental condition • Three-dimensional pictures of position of people trapped or buried under heaps of rubble • Radar-based monitoring of physical condition by registering parameters,such as pulse rate and respiration Cologne City Archives, 2009, IMTEK

  13. Example 5:Monitoring & Securing of Components
